I was in Kewanee, IL (from Aurora, IL) and before we headed back home we decided to get something to eat so we decided on Mexican and this was right there and to our SURPRISE this food was "Great!" I mean it's real Mexican food, Good portions and the horchata (rice water) was what I expected to be. I highly recommend this restaurant if I'm ever in town definitely I'll be eating there. FYI this is even better then most Mexican restaurants in Aurora (lol). Honestly try it if you like Mexican, I know cause I'm Mexican and and I have had it all my life and I tried so many places all over I been. We cook our own food but sometimes we have to eat out due to circumstances/time. read more

Called to order, picked it up and all food was soggy and cold. Found hair in our beans. Also asked for no avocado as there is an allergy and was told it would be taken off. Got home and started to eat. Well, come to find out the guacamole was not taken off and had to rush to er. Called the store and was told I would get a full refund and they were laughing at the fact we were running to the er. When we got there they were arguing that it wasn't guacamole when we know it was. Told they will give the money but we are allowed to call the police. PLEASE EAT ANYWHERE ELSE!!! Habaneros in geneseo is better than this place. read more

The service is really bad here we went to get the full refund and they were arguing back with us saying they need to see the food, we threw the food away because it was not edible at all there was hair in the food it was also really greasy to the point the taco salad shell broke and they also but guacamole in when we told them on the phone to not do that because my father in law is allergic to it, well guess what they did and we had to take him to the er, the supposed manger had a smirk in his face as I was saying that which is really unprofessional for someone who said to be really civil he was arguing back while people were watching. NEVER GOING BACK so if you guys go to Kewanee go to someplace else we have better options. read more

First time trying this place and had a nice experience! The decorations are so cute and the booths and chairs are so beautifully decorated with these hand carved and painted looking designs! The chips were fresh, the salsa was delightful, and the staff was so friendly! We weren't sure where to start with the menu and our server was beyond helpful with helping us pick our meals (: nice place read more

Excellent small town Mexican food. Never a messed up order or disappointment. Very good for takeout.

I visited this restaurant with my mom and grandma on Friday. We were greeted with a friendly smile and seated in a prompt manner. The chips and salsa were delicious. But my entree, the Burrito Colorado with pork, was even better! The food came out quick and was hot. I have visited this place a couple of times since I've been back in town and they do not disappoint! read more

Los Ranchitos - Burrito Colorado (pork) with beans and rice. - Mexican Near Me - Kewanee, Illinois

Food is good but Every time I order I get the same thing and the price changes every time I keep all my receipts and question them and I always get an excuse to why the price is different which makes no sense when everything is the same. And they need to make sure there kids are closed because I got my whole bag covered in cheese read more

Good pleasant service. Large portions for a small price. We ordered a double order of chicken fajitas, and this served two people with at least a quarter of the dish left over. Another table ordered a burrito that was as large as the plate. The salsa was a bit boring; not bad, but not too spicy and kind of like tomato with a few veggies. All in all it was definitely worth the visit, and if I find myself in Kewanee I'm sure I'll be stopping by again. read more

Excellent service if you dine in or carry out prices are reasonable food is out of this world

We went for dinner last night and we started with a pitcher of margaritas, which is the Friday special $10.99! Pretty good considering the price. Not heavy in the tequila but also not heavy on the sour mix. Very smooth. I made the mistake of asking for hotter salsa. I had second thoughts as my waiter walked away chuckling... He brought back some really really crazy hot stuff.. Not a fan until I mixed it with the house salsa- then it was perfect! We also had a few street tacos which were very good and we split an order of seafood molcajete.. Very large portion.. Our eyes were obv bigger than our stomachs.. Service was great. Overall a good experience and we'll def return if we find ourselves in Kewanee again.. read more

Food was ok.. nothing special.. I ordered basic steak tacos with cilantro and onion and chips and salsa.. I came in and ordered to go.. total came out to 17 and some change.. couple days later I saw a charge to my account for 27 and some change.. seems like they decided to add a 10 dollar tip for themselves.. I was hoping to make this my regular spot while I was in town for business for the next couple months which would include bringing in my clients but not ok with getting charged an extra "tip" that was unauthorized.. it's a shame since I would have brought in more business than just an extra 10 dollars.. my advice is to watch your billing statement if you go here read more

I hate to do this but...we placed an order with Kewanee Los Ranchitos on the phone as we were planning to have a nice family meal together before our oldest son left to go back to his Air Force base in Florida. We got home 20 min later & see we are a meal short. I called & they read the order & didnt hear we ordered 2 of 1 of the meals. Ok, understandable. They said we got what we paid for. I understand that & we were going to send someone back to Kewanee (40 min round trip) to pick up & purchase another meal. Yes we got what we paid for but we didnt get what we ORDERED. I was told they were completely not at fault & didnt know what i expected them to do about it. Said oh you want me to say the customer is always right, is that it? The man I spoke to continued to talk over me & tell me they were busy & what did i think they should do bc its my word vs theirs. All i wanted was for us to get another meal that we were going to pay for & maybe they could say they were sorry for messing up our order but what i got instead was saying he was going to say they did nothing wrong all day long, he was busy and did i want to order the meal or not. I never asked for a free meal or anything extra. No. We don't want the order & they won't be seeing us again. We were pretty good customers. Terrible customer service & highly disappointed. read more

After tonight los ranchitos lost a customer. We ordered 2 Allen specials, 1 chicken with onion, tomato and no cheese, the second with chicken & steak and we also ordered 4 tamales with no cheese. What we got was 2 regular Allen specials both had cheese, both chicken, my husbands was missing the steak and they forgot our tamales. I called up there and was hung up on. The second time I called back the lady was really nice, I explained what was wrong and we drove back up there. When we got back home our tamales had cheese on them, also they tasted weird; the taste reminded me of canned ravioli. And my husbands dinner did have steak this time but now no chicken. We've been on the fence about eating there because we've had some other bad experiences in the past but after tonight we will never go back. So disappointed. read more

Los Ranchitos was located in a converted Hardee's. That building burned to the ground. They are now located in a converted Kentucky Fried Chicken. Both locations were vastly improved by being taken over by these restauranteurs. They understand the dining experience with a bright welcoming dining room and attentive waitstaff. The menu is large, varied, and authentic. The transformation of this location is amazing. The KFC was small and dingy feeling - they've done a great job creating a vibrant restaurant in a town that desperately needs interesting options. Well done! read more

Food here is amazing taste really good!! Definitely the best in town I always get the same thing every time I come here. I have noticed to every time I order the same thing my bill price changes every time even with my order always being the same I never say anything because money isn't a issue but I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed it to read more

It's okay. The food is okay, it's nothing spectacular I've never had "good" traditional Mexican food before but it was okay. They did have the option for bottled sodas that was different. The biggest thing I didn't like was that it's alllll one chair they have like 3 or 4 isles of tables put together then they also have booths, so really there is no personal meals with friends and family you're always sitting next to someone you don't know. But all in all it's okay. read more

As a local I have eaten here on a couple of occasions even though I don't eat lots of mexican food. The menu is HUGE. The service is consistently good and I haven't heard anyone else complain. They often run 50% off coupons for lunch in the local paper. read more
